The remaining eight contestants, including Jay James before he was eliminated, came together to open the show with a performance of Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off.

Watch them shake it off in the video above. What have you thought of the X Factor group performances on the live shows so far?

Taylor performed on the ITV show last month and caused an intense audience reaction after she took to the stage to sing her new track.

She got the audience on their feet with her rousing pop hit yet again about heartbreak and relationships going wrong. Taylor gave an energetic performance with a troop of backing dancers, leaving the crowd screaming as they applauded the singer with a standing ovation.

Pharrell Williams, John Legend, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and tonight Olly Murs and Nicole Scherzinger have all performed on The X Factor show this year so far.
